'CAS'EMENTT SASH.

Application filed joveinber'lf), 192-3. Serial 'No. 673,926.

*My invention is an improved casement sash.

The object'of -my'inventi0n is to provide a casement sash which may besecured iirany desired open position.

Another object isto provide roller mountings for the sash, which willnot sag in use.

A further object is to provide yieldable members at the sides of theframe to exclude rain and wind.

In the annexed drawing in which, my invention is illustrated:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my window in an open position.

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a sectional View taken on the line 3-3 of F igure. 1.

Figure 4 is a side view of the top sash supporting roller.

Figure 5 is a plan View of the bottom sash supporting roller.

Referring more particularly to the drawing: the sash 1 is mounted in aframe 2, by means of upper roller member 3, and lower roller member 4.The member 3 comprises a roller frame 5 in which a pair of rollers 6 and7 are journaled, and a rod 8 depends from the frame into a bore 9 in thesash 1. A nut 10 is positioned in the bore 9 and the rod 8 is threadedinto it. The bore 9 extends out of the sash l at an angle so that a toolcan engage the rod 8 by means: of a slot at its lower end to adjust therollers as will be further described.

The roller frame 5 and rollers 6 and 7 travel in a transverse groove 11-in the window frame 2 and the rod 8 extends through a slot 12 in thewindow frame into the sash, as shown in Figure 3. l/Vhen the sash ishung in the window frame the rod 8 is adjusted in the nut 10 until the.sash swings properly.

The lower roller member 4 comprises a horizontal roller frame 13 uponwhich are mounted rollers 14 and 15. These rollers are adapted to travelin a groove 16 in the sill 17 of the frame 2. The groove is the properwidth so that the rollers 14 and engage both sides of the groove thuseliminating any transverse motion in the frame 13 and the sash 1. Theframe 13 is pivoted to the sash 1 by a pin 18, which pin has a head 19bearing against the. sill 17. A suitable spring fastening means 20engages the pin 18 to hold the sash in any desired entering the groove[-16 and rusting the rollers 14 and 15.

To prevent rain, dust, etc. from entering at the sides of the sash, Ihave provided yieldable vertical weather strips 23 at the sides of theframe 2. The strip is hinged at 24 in a recess 25 in the frame 2. Aspring 26 urges the strip 23 outwardly and a stop screw 27 limits itsoutward movement. The outer edge of the strip 23 is enlarged as at 28and the sash is adapted to rest back of said enlargement thuseffectively sealing it against rain and dust.

lVhen the sash is closed, it engages the stripdepresses it against thetension of the spring 26until it reaches its normal closed position whenthe spring forces the strip outwardly and seals the window.

Arms 29 and 30 are pivoted to the sash and frame. at the top and bottomthereof respectively, to support and pivot the sash. Having described myinvention I claim: 1. In a casement sash, a frame, a sash having a boreextending from the upper edge to the side edge tnereof, a nut secured tosaid sash, and extending within said bore, a roller member consisting ofa roller frame, rollers carried by said roller frame and adapted totravel within a groove with in the window frame, a rod extending belowsaid frame and secured to said nut, said rod having a slot within itslower end where-- by the rod may be adjusted by means of a suitable toolinserted from the lower end of said bore.
